I have inherited oil/mineral rights in Sheridan County and Daniels County. What is the typical “Bonus” offered per acre, or “section” by the oil companies?

You would need to be more specific with the section, township and range location. Bonus/royalty pairs are related to the geology which varies widely across the two counties. Royalty percentages may be public, but bonus amounts are not. Folks on the forum may be able to share.
